Top 50 College Players.....

[Dawg1979]

we have 2 players on the list before Georgia has 1. Fitz(16) and Simmons(29). Sweat coming in at 45

Shae Patterson pretty high.

I appreciate that they put three of our players in there, but any list that doesn't have a single SEC player in the top 9 is crap.

Im ok with it. I think that the overall talent gap between SEC and other conferences does have some effect on the importance of individual players.

For example, Bama and State won post season with backup quarterbacks. The Louisville beat down against a Heisman winner with KT calling cadence is a snapshot of that overall talent gap. Without Lamar Jackson that team might have gone 3-9.

I think Trace McSorely is way too high. Tua may be is good as everyone says (or hopes), but I would not rank him that high until he would have a season under his belt.

There isn't a truly dominating SEC player out there this year. There are big enough doubts about each of the first five SEC players on that list that keep them out of the top 9. Some will probably show themselves to be top 9 players by the end of the year. Plus the top 9 on that list are pretty damn good.

I say it's fairly legit, and the SEC having 18 out of 50 players on it speaks highly of the league. The Big Ten has 11 players, the ACC 9, the PAC-12 5, and the Big XII 5.

That’s a higher regard for Fitz than the national sentiment, IMO. Our best players are on the DL.

Has Will Grier been in college football for 10 years? I am including suspension time and year he had to sit out. Seems like forever

And all 4 clemson d-lineman in top 24 is impressive

No way he deserves to be number 11 at this point.

I absolutely despise these guys like Kiper and Herbstreit. They call themselves analyzing talent but The majority of this crap is a popularity contest. If u don’t play for a National contender you aren’t a top player in their opinion. Half these players won’t do crap in the NFL.

#1 - Houston
#2 - Stanford
#3 - West Virginia

pretty much debunked what you just said. i usually would agree with that statement, but the top 3 players play for a non contender. maybe Stanford, but i doubt it.

Imagine if Raekwon, AJ Brown, and Derrick Brown had come to State. We’d have 6 guys on this list. The most in the country. And be preseason top 3 or 4.

But then we probably still have Dean Marvins.

Yeah I think you are right, but then the strength of the SEC is not the individual superstars but the two and three deep.
